Fearing vs. Being Afraid.

All of (he larger boys attending our
Sunday-school have lieen prohloited
from attending by thelrsohool teachers,
but i|uite a number of new girls have
come In, so we still have about forty,
,My heart longs for my boys, aud I do
trukt that something may occur to
overthrow this unjust law. In the
meantime we will work as hard as we
can for the girls. In our knlttlugclass
we have now about sixteen pretty,
bright girls, aud have a Bible lesson
with them every Saturday afternoon.
The other two Sunday-schools are
growing every week; and we are now
ahklng Ihe Lord to open tousap'ace
III the village for a fourth. The priests
have ((ulckly put a stop to all we have
uiidert:(keu outside of the city heretofore,
but we are not at all discouraged,
I had the material in my mind for a
long letter, but you will let me off with
a short oue this time, will you not? I
have the picture of the orphan children
at Chofu. aud some interesting things
about their lives which I heard while
with them this summer aud stored up
for 3 on, I will send them In my next
letter. Vou will want to know all
akiout that llrst Sunday in the new
nxim too, s. 1 shall have a great deal
to write you next time, I would that
I might send a message to eacn lovea
worker of the Vouug South. I wieb
you could kuow how much 1 love you,
aud if 1 do, does not our Father much,
much more? I do thank Him for letting
me stay lu Japan so lung; and no
for this lovely room which you have
helped build for me lu addition to your
other work. It is a splendid work you
are doing. May Uod help me to use
well your gifts!
1 have frc(|ueutly beeu moved to
tears by your little notes. These numbers
of the Young South page are to be
carefully prmrved In the YoungSouth
scrap book. So you see if I should live
to grow old in Japau, I shall never be
able to forget you. The dear little blind
girl of Knoxvllle, who has been so much
Interested, I do want to thank especially.
Her letter so touched my heart,
and I waut to say to her that she shall
seme day see the result of this manifestation
of the spirit of her Savior. It
may bo tiiat in a year or two I may
meet and thank her aud many of you.
It is a juy tliat I sometimes look forward
to.
Shall I say anything about cards this
time? I am always remiudingr you of
them. Weil, lustead, I will remind
you of Uhrlstmas, aud you know how
paper dolls aud pretty caids help then.
I have watted aud hoped for one more
MiJSON PIOTURH HOMJ,
but none comes, aud we have used the
old ones over and over. I do wonder '
what theSunday-schoolsdo with them.
I will wlliingly pay the postage ir some
school will agree to send them to me
every (luarter. But that sounds very
much like begging. Can't a missionary
writ* a letter without begging? I'll
stop lisfore another waut pops Into my
head. But thera is another and I
must write It. I do with all my hMrt,,
waut your prayern, that I may ha given
strength (((Ual to every nssd ot this,
work, and that ttiss* souls w« an trylug
to tralu may shine as Jewels In
"Mis oruwn of i^olclcg" when He
oomath. May Ha blw yoii, sach and
every one, in your homes, your schoollife,
your work fur missions above all.
I pray that He will save the souls of
each precious Young South worker.
With tenderest love, your misslouary,

letter from across the great ocean, that

glad I was, and I know the interested
smile still lingers on all your faces,
after you iiave read It or heard It read.
How lovely it Is to know exactly atiout
the new home and to think of our dear
missionary now beneath Its roof and
growing stronger every day. Don't
forget to pray constantly for her and
her household, and her work. And the
•• cards" and the " paper dolls?" I am
sure you will send them quickly, so
she will receive them by Christmas. -
It takes a whole month, you know, for
a letter to reach her.
What school will respond to her wish
for a "picture roll?" Write me at once
so too many may not go. It will take
a good deal of postage to be sure, but
wiiat school will not cheerfully give
that much to the Master? I would like
to say ever so much more about her
dear letter aud iier dear self, but your
letters are waiting!
